You should use http_build_query() and HTML-escaping instead of relying on string gymnastics:

<?php

/* Your PHP code goes here */

function html_escape($raw_input, $encoding)
{
    return htmlspecialchars($raw_input, ENT_QUOTES | ENT_SUBSTITUTE | ENT_HTML5, $encoding);
}

// test data
$your_row = [
    'id' => 42,
    'ompCreatedBy' => 'foobar',
];

$your_url = 'kf_orders_entered_detail.php?'.http_build_query(['id' => $your_row['id']]);

?>
<!-- Your HTML markup goes here -->

<tr>
  <td><a href="<?= html_escape($your_url, 'UTF-8') ?>"><?= html_escape($your_row['ompCreatedBy'], 'UTF-8') ?></a></td>
</tr>

Not only is this much clearer than messing with PHP strings. It's also much more secure and reliable, because you won't end up with syntax conflicts or even attacks.
